"Nobody wants to die on the road," Lewis Le, Vision Zero’s lead trac safety ocer said. "Nobody should die on the road. It's completely unac- ceptable that from this point forward, it's pretty likely that we'll have over 50 more people dying on the streets this year."

While area leaders and trac experts acknowledge Austin does not have enough police to enforce speed limits, they are banking on lowering those limits to save lives. On June 16, Austin City Council approved reducing the speed limit of almost 50 roads in the city as speeding is the No. 1 contributing factor of fatal car crashes in Austin, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. More than 50 fatal accidents have

Are We at the Top of the Housing Market?

You’re probably hearing a lot about Austin’s shifting housing market. Historically low interest rates drove housing markets across the nation into hyperdrive over the last year. As the market softens, we’ll likely see fewer

offers on homes, fewer bidding wars, an increase in inventory, and more. Scan the QR code to see what experts have to say.

ABOUT US

Now in 2022, CI is still locally owned. We have expanded to include hundreds of employees, our own software platform and printing facility, and over 30 hyperlocal editions across the state with a circulation to more than 2.4 million residential mailboxes.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM DEEDA: Driving around my neighborhood, I see a few more “For sale” signs than normal. However, aordability is still a major issue as demand outpaces supply. This edition includes our annual Real Estate Guide starting inside (see Page 16). In our front-page story, we share the city’s plans to increase the housing supply, particularly along our major corridors. We’ve all heard, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, they are here, and they’re knocking down doors for housing. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER dlovett@communityimpact.com

Community Impact Newspaper teams include general managers, editors, reporters, graphic designers, sales account executives and sales support, all immersed and invested in the communities they serve. Our mission is to build communities of informed citizens and thriving businesses through the collaboration of a passionate team. Our core values are Faith, Passion, Quality, Innovation and Integrity.

FROM ANDREA: A good public education system benets everyone. As school districts across the state struggle to retain teachers, Austin ISD is no dierent. In June, district trustees approved pay incentives for the upcoming school year with hopes teachers will stay on. Inside, we talk more about moves to keep educators (see Page 14). Andrea Anderson , EDITOR aanderson@communityimpact.com

Our purpose is to be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.

William Cannon intersection improvement Crews began construction on the intersection at William Cannon Drive and Sunstrip Drive/Lunar Drive in July. The corridor program oce is adding high-visibility crosswalks, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps and a new smart trac signal at the intersection. The work will start at the north side of the intersection rst, and access to and from Sunstrip may be closed. Timeline: July-fall 2022 Cost: $580,000 Funding source: 2016 mobility bond

On June 22, Austin Public Works began a months-long process of improving damaged streets through- out the city. Residents along aected roadways will receive an orange slip of paper on their door 30 days before Austin Public Works plans on repairing their street and will be provided with alternative parking options, accord- ing to Janae Spence, division man- ager of Pavement and Infrastructure Operations. Residents are also encouraged to call 311 to get the exact date of the repair, as weather conditions may impact the schedule. “It’s important to know we’re investing in our streets, and we want to have a great network of streets

here,” Spence said. With a budget of just over $27 million, Austin Public Works aims to repair 10% of the city’s streets this year. Austin Public Works uses a vehi- cle with laser technology that can assess the conditions of each street and determine if it needs a sealcoat,

crack seal, mill and overlay, or other repair option. Sealcoating, a process of protecting asphalt with a coat of adhesive and aggregate, accounts for 45% of street repairs this year, according to Spence. Sealcoating ensures roads have enough friction to be safe to drive on.

EDUCATION BRIEFS

News from Austin & Dripping Springs ISDs

HIGHLIGHTS AUSTIN ISD During the Austin ISD bond program meeting July 12, AISD confirmed it will ask for a bond to be placed on the ballot in the November election. There were two potential bond proposals suggested: a $1.55 billion with no tax rate increase and a $2.18 billion option with a $0.01 tax rate increase. Both proposals include partial or complete campus modernizations, district wide technology upgrades and secure entry points. The larger of the two bonds would expand the number of schools modernized from 14 to 21. AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE Staff will propose a 5%-15% raise for ACC employees and an $18 minimum wage to the board of trustees at its 2022-2023 budget meeting Aug. 1.

will pay a $2,000 retention stipend to full-time educators and $1,000 to those who work part time. A $500 stipend will be awarded to teachers who have been with the district for more than five years. Meanwhile, $8 million will go to raise the district’s minimum hourly wage to $16, from $13.50, and another $1 million will go to increas- ing the minimum hourly pay for bus drivers to $21 from $17. Of the entire budget, a portion will go toward an $846 million recapture payment, the highest in the state, district officials said. The funding plan was started by the state Legislature in 1993 and reroutes money from property-wealthy school districts to those that have less. The 74,000-plus student school district’s new budget is about $33 million less than last year, according to district officials.

AUSTIN ISD The district will boost salaries next school year in a move to keep educators from leaving Austin ISD. School district trustees approved June 23 a nearly $1.9 billion budget for the upcoming school year, which results in a $1,000 annual pay bump for teachers and raises wages for other staff. The budget plan sets aside $6.3 million for a 2% raise for teachers based on midpoint salaries, accord- ing to district officials. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t lose ground with teacher pay and we were competitive,” said Edu- ardo Ramos, AISD’s chief financial officer, during the board’s budget meeting. That figure includes financial incentives so teachers will stay. Starting next school year, the district

CITY & COUNTY

News from Austin and Travis County

CITY HIGHLIGHTS AUSTIN On June 24, the Texas Supreme Court announced it will not consider a lawsuit from Austin residents requesting that all City Council seats be included in this November’s election. The decision ended a challenge that could have forced five incumbents into midterm races. In the lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged that Austin’s redistricting process of 2021 “disenfranchised” thousands of voters by shifting residents into a district where they had not voted for their own representative. Austin City Council elections are held on a staggered basis every two years, meaning people who were moved into certain districts in 2021 do not have the opportunity to vote for their council member until 2024. AUSTIN Local cases of monkeypox can no longer be traced to travel, Austin Public Health said July 13; instead the virus is moving through the community. As of July 14, nine cases have been confirmed in Travis County, while eight more are presumptive. Monkeypox is spread by contact with bodily fluids touching skin lesions or touching surfaces that have come in contact with the virus, such as bed linens, according to APH.

Austin proposes $5B budget

AUSTIN PROPERTY TAX RATE The proposed budget for fiscal year 2022-23 includes a tax rate decrease. The average homeowner will pay about $10 more a month due to higher fees. $0.4448 $0.4403 $0.4431 $0.5335 $0.541 $0.4519

BY BEN THOMPSON

AUSTIN On July 15, Austin City Manager Spencer Cronk proposed a $5 billion budget for Austin’s fiscal year 2022-23. While the tax rate would decrease for property owners, the city would raise about $20.29 million more than last year. Cronk said a top focus of his bud- get planning was addressing staffing vacancies. During his announcement of the budget, Cronk said he hoped to cor- rect the trend of Austin heading “in the direction of a crisis” related to its workforce as the city continues to

face high vacancies and an increased cost of living. “The simple truth of the matter is that we do not currently have the staff that we need to deliver the services that we must,” Cronk said. The budget includes an increased minimum wage for employees from $15 to $18 and a one-time stipend of $1,500 for full-time employees with at least one year of service with the city.

The new tax rate would provide homeowners some protection from drastically increased property values. Austin’s tax rate would dip from the current $0.541 per $100 of property valuation to $0.4519 per $100, a more than 16% drop. Cronk said the typical resident can expect to pay around $10 more per month due to increased service costs and fees.

HOME IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

ASK A DESIGNER

As many people juggle returning to the oce or hybrid work, Community Impact Newspaper asked an interior designer how to decorate your space. WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR AN HOME OFFICE?

COMPILED BY KAITLYN WILKES & CHLOE YOUNG

Colors are very big indicators for us of happiness and help us get to a certain feeling. I like to incorporate parts of those colors in folders, could be a vase on my desk, could be a lamp. The other one I would say is to make sure you have good lighting, either natural light, or even lamps tend to work in the evening. WHAT CAN RENTERS DO? [Removable wallpapers] come in so many styles and so many colors [and are] a way to inuence your rental without making any major changes. Command Strips are great. You can’t change the ooring; you’re not really going to be able to change backsplash or countertops; but you can use the walls kind of as your creative outlet. So removable wallpaper, art hung with command strips, rugs, and then you can also nd some really great fun throw pillows to add more color and texture.

ASK A HOME MAINTENANCE EXPERT

You denitely want to nd a place in the home that can be your work area, so when you go to it, you kind of go into that mindset of it’s time to work. I would recommend something that has the most natural light. Our brain sees that kind of as cues on how to be productive. ... The other thing most people don’t think about is where you want to place your desk and your chair. Our subconscious does not like there being a door behind us and not being able to see it. That never allows us to fully relax. So pointing your chair toward the door or an easy angle to see the door will help you relax more. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR RETURNING TO THE OFFICE? Choose colors that make you happy.

For Central Texas residents who already own a home, this hot real estate market may keep them in their residence longer. As homes age, Dylan Rooney with Papasan Home Services explained how to maintain them.

exterior shell, that would be the easy answer there. WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON ISSUE THAT YOU SEE WITH OLDER HOMES? One big one would be insulation. Insulation is the real big ones. Foundation issues could be one just because of settling, but they’re usually not issues. It’s just natural. I think home eciency would probably be the biggest one, so the insulation, newer, tighter windows and doors.

WHAT IS THE NO. 1 MAINTENANCE TIP YOU WOULD RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE WITH AN AGING HOME? Starting top down, the roof is a huge one. I would say the exterior shell of the home would be the biggest one because we keep the weather out, the inside stays way better there—then you’re keeping insects and bugs out as well. It could be the roof; it can be the paint, could be the ceiling or the sealant. It could also be vegetation around the home and not having a habitat for critters around the house too. Just the

TIPS FROM A POOL SELLER

John Luebbe, Tri-County Pools co-owner, shares his advice for potential pool owners. Luebbe serves Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties. ON SPACE NEEDED FOR A POOL:

ON INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE COST: Everything’s gone up. With that said, right now you’re looking at a pool between $73,000 and $80,000 for a pool only. Then we can add another $2,330 for a spa, [and for] decking, $3,000. Again, there’s a lot of variables in regard to it. I tell people between $35 and $50 a month is a good average, if you will, [for] chemicals, water, and so forth. In the winter months, it’s considerably down. In the summer months like this last month, roughly record- breaking 100-degree weather for June, the pool gets a lot more use, so the chemical demand is a little higher.

OTHER ADVICE: The city of Austin has required now third-party inspections, and it’s not an option. It needs to be done, and there are people building right now without those third-party inspections. It might have dire consequences, and they might have to take the pool out.

It’s about what you’re going to use the pool for, so it’s designed accordingly. With that said there is, in the city of Austin anyhow, impervious cover issues. While the pool does not count as impervious cover, the decking does, the slab the equipment sits on does. So some people are limited as far as how much pool they can put in because of the impervious cover. Sometimes people want to put this pool right next to their house, then you start talking about getting an engineer involved ... They should start with a wish list as far as what they want to accomplish, and then, in an initial meeting, we evaluate these things.
