Austin cuts $95 million from
0:11
its budget, shrinking funds to
0:13
parks, homelessness services and
0:15
more after the fallout from Prop
0:16
Q. Find out how those cuts affect
0:19
you. And for folks in Sandy Creek,
0:21
efforts to clean up after the July
0:23
4th floods are still ongoing.
0:25
We'll hear about ways you
0:27
can help.
0:28
Plus art groups seeking affordable
0:30
studio space find
0:32
sanctuary in a downtown Austin
0:34
church.
0:35
We've got more on how they secured
0:36
the space and what that means for
0:38
the Austin arts community.
0:40
Coming up.
0:41
The Austin Signal is a production of
0:43
KUT News, hosted by Miles
0:45
Bloxson.
0:47
And Jason Miller brings us this week
0:49
in Texas Music History.
0:51
That's next on Austin Signal.
1:10
Hi there Austin.
1:12
It is Friday, November 21st.
1:14
Finally Friday.
1:15
I know what you're thinking.
1:16
The weekend is almost here.
1:18
I'm Miles Bloxson.
1:19
This is the Austin Signal and thanks
1:21
so much for joining us here today.
1:23
A quick headline to start, the
1:25
Austin Independent School District
1:26
Board of Trustees early this
1:28
morning approved a plan to
1:30
close 10 schools and relocate dual
1:32
language programs.
1:33
The move is expected to help the
1:35
district generate more than $20
1:36
million, eliminating its
1:38
19.7 million dollar
1:40
budget deficit.
1:41
Superintendent Matias Segura
1:44
says the district will discuss
1:46
in the spring another plan to close
1:47
more schools and redraw attendance
1:50
boundaries.
1:51
That plan could be voted on next
1:53
fall.
1:54
The AISD board also voted
1:55
to approve turnaround plans for
1:57
12 campuses that receive three
1:59
consecutive failing or unacceptable
2:01
grades from the state.
2:03
You can find more on that plan at
2:05
KUT.org.
2:07
The city of Austin cut $95
2:09
million from its budget last night
2:11
during its city council meeting.
2:13
The cuts happened after Prop Q
2:15
failed to pass this past election.
2:17
Prop Q would have raised property
2:19
taxes to generate $110
2:21
million in additional funds for
2:23
the city.
2:24
The original budget passed by city
2:26
council in August had already
2:28
factored those funds into the new
2:29
budget. So with voters rejecting
2:31
Prop Q, cuts to the budget
2:33
had to be made.
2:35
The breakdown where the cuts were
2:36
made, We have City Council reporter,
2:38
Luz Moreno-Lazano here
2:40
joining us.
2:41
Luz, great to talk with you.
2:42
Hi, Miles.
2:43
So with City Council initially
2:45
factoring this $110 million
2:47
into their budget before it was
2:49
approved by voters, this feels a
2:50
little like counting your eggs
2:52
before they hatch, shall we say?
2:54
Is this normally how things are done
2:55
when it comes to the budget?
2:58
What is normal, you
3:00
know, like what is normal anymore?
3:03
You know, typically the city council
3:04
does adopt a budget and a
3:06
tax rate to support that budget.
3:09
And in it, they build things like,
3:11
you now, they put in money for
3:12
police and fire and
3:14
parks and libraries.
3:16
And yes, this time around, they knew
3:17
that they wanted to do more
3:20
with some of the money and they had
3:21
to ask voters to do it.
3:22
So.
3:23
You know, depending on,
3:25
you know, what the city council is
3:26
trying to do that particular year,
3:29
normally the tax rate is large
3:31
enough. Now, you now, things are a
3:32
little complicated this year with
3:34
like the end of federal funding and
3:35
property tax rate caps, and all of
3:37
that has kind of factored into like
3:38
a limited amount of revenue that the
3:40
city was able to generate.
3:41
Okay, and initially they had a
3:42
plan for that $110 million,
3:45
right? That's right, that's right.
3:46
Yes, they had originally
3:48
planned to cover a lot of things.
3:50
One of the biggest chunks of it was
3:51
to support homelessness services.
3:54
They were gonna do shelters and
3:55
rapid rehousing and permanent
3:57
supportive housing and they had all
3:58
of these plans to support
3:59
homelessness.
4:00
They were also focused on public
4:02
safety and park improvements.
4:03
And so all of that was part of this
4:05
110 million.
4:07
So now they cut 95 million.
4:08
Is that all from where they had
4:10
hoped to use those Prop Q dollars?
4:12
Yeah, I think so.
4:13
I think, you know, they, they kind
4:14
of went through and were like, okay,
4:16
we, we had plans for this 110
4:18
million.
4:19
We're gonna have to either slash all
4:21
of it or figure out how to make
4:22
things work and move them around and
4:24
subtract from other areas to support
4:26
some of their priorities.
4:28
So they ended up slashing a
4:30
95 million, they are moving
4:32
some money over from their reserve
4:34
fund, which is essentially like a
4:35
city savings account to kind of help
4:37
offset things but They made it very
4:39
clear from the beginning that they
4:40
had a couple of main focus areas
4:42
and that included EMS
4:44
services, making sure that they have
4:46
enough to keep ambulances staffed.
4:48
That included homelessness efforts
4:50
and that was like, you know, it's
4:51
not every piece of homelessness that
4:53
they hoped, but it was some.
4:54
And they wanted to have 24 hour
4:57
coverage for people who are in
4:58
mental health crisis and having
4:59
people be able to respond to that.
5:00
And so they were really focused on
5:02
those main priorities and so they...
5:04
Kind of came in and were like, this
5:05
is how much money and what we need
5:06
to do and what we need work
5:08
with within the budget that we have.
5:11
Where else were things cut-
5:13
Yeah, you know, parks saw a pretty
5:14
big cut. You know, part of the
5:16
110 million was wanting to
5:18
fund new staff to maintain
5:21
parks and grounds maintenance.
5:22
You know we've seen the city wanting
5:24
to invest more in green spaces and
5:26
we just don't have the staffing to
5:28
maintain them.
5:29
Originally they were hoping to fund
5:31
60 new positions and now
5:33
that has dwindled down to like 15.
5:35
You know, some of the homelessness
5:36
services that they were hoping to
5:38
add on to included rapid rehousing
5:40
and included bridge
5:42
sheltering.
5:44
So those kinds of things were all
5:45
part of it.
5:46
I think one of the other big things
5:48
was like EMS in addition to
5:50
staffing was also supposed to get
5:52
new equipment and other things that
5:53
were going to help them as you're
5:54
trying to sustain and grow their
5:56
department.
5:57
And that was also part of some of
5:58
cuts we saw yesterday.
5:59
And how will this affect us folks
6:01
living here in Austin?
6:02
I mean, you named a number of things
6:03
there, but.
6:04
What are the big things?
6:05
I think EMS is probably going to be
6:07
the biggest one.
6:08
And when you think about it, you
6:09
don't think about EMS all the time,
6:11
right? You're really only calling
6:13
911 when there's an emergency,
6:15
and it might be one of your worst
6:16
days.
6:18
But if you do call 911,
6:20
you want them to be able to respond
6:21
as quickly as possible.
6:23
And so that's one of the biggest
6:24
things that this is doing is,
6:27
how can we ensure that the
6:28
ambulances across the city
6:31
are fully staffed?
6:33
So that they can respond in a timely
6:35
manner.
6:36
They did say that there are more
6:38
things that they need to be doing to
6:40
kind of improve that response
6:42
time, but that's probably the
6:43
biggest one.
6:44
Also like homelessness, I think a
6:46
lot of people are concerned with
6:48
people living unhoused
6:50
and trying to solve that
6:52
problem means giving people access
6:54
to shelter and services to help them
6:55
do that. And so we'll start to see
6:57
some of these things kind of come
6:58
into fruition this year with this
7:00
budget.
7:01
You know, Luce, I'm not a
7:02
mathematician, but they
7:04
plan for an additional $110
7:06
million, but they only cut
7:09
$95 million.
7:10
Are there more cuts to come?
7:11
There aren't.
7:12
So they moved that money from their
7:14
reserve fund that we kind of talked
7:15
about earlier.
7:17
So, I mean, you know, the city
7:18
council does have that money there
7:19
for a rainy day.
7:21
And so, you know, they weren't as
7:22
thrilled as, as they wanted to be
7:24
in, in moving some of that money
7:25
over, but it does help kind of fund
7:27
some of these high top priorities.
7:28
So.
7:29
We've been speaking to Luz
7:30
Moreno-Lezano, City Council reporter
7:32
for KUT.
7:33
Luz, thanks so much for talking to
7:34
us. Thanks, Miles.
7:41
With this past rain and flood watch,
7:42
Travis, Williamson, and Hayes
7:44
County were under a
7:46
small watch until early this
7:48
morning. It would absolutely make
7:49
sense if memories of July 4th
7:51
floods come to mind, but for
7:53
some of us, those reminders
7:55
of that tragic day are more lasting
7:57
as the cleanup from wrecked home and
7:59
property persists.
8:01
KUT's Williamson County reporter,
8:03
Kailey Hunt, has been
8:05
following these ongoing cleanup
8:07
efforts. She joins us today.
8:08
Kailey, how are you today?
8:09
I'm alright Miles, how are you?
8:11
Doing great!
8:12
So what is happening this weekend?
8:14
Yeah, so this weekend the Austin
8:16
Disaster Relief Network is
8:18
holding a cleanup event in
8:20
Sandy Creek.
8:21
That's a community located just
8:23
outside of Leander in Northwestern
8:25
Travis County.
8:26
They're among the hardest hit areas
8:28
during the July storms
8:30
and floods.
8:31
10 people died, over 200 homes
8:33
were damaged or completely lost.
8:35
So they are asking for volunteers
8:37
to come out.
8:38
For one big last push to
8:40
try to clean up some properties for
8:42
these folks before the Thanksgiving
8:43
holiday.
8:44
And you've been keeping up.
8:46
With these folks since the floods,
8:47
what's been going on with them?
8:49
Yeah, so, you know, we're
8:52
nearing five months now since
8:54
the disaster happened.
8:56
Many, many of the residents that
8:58
I've spoken to in the Sandy Creek
8:59
area are actually
9:01
still homeless, technically.
9:03
You know, they're still living in
9:05
trailers or even tents out
9:07
on their properties that still have
9:08
debris buried three,
9:10
four feet into the ground.
9:12
So they are, you now,
9:14
still awaiting some disaster relief
9:16
funds.
9:17
And trying to work through what
9:18
their next steps are going to be.
9:20
So it's still a lot of work to be
9:21
done. Absolutely.
9:22
And you've talked with Sarah
9:24
Ashworth, a lead volunteer with
9:26
the Austin Disaster Relief Network,
9:28
and this was during a cleanup
9:30
a few weeks ago.
9:31
Let's listen to what she had to say
9:33
about these cleanups.
9:39
Almost three four foot higher
9:41
than it was all this settlement and
9:44
and all it like this tiles and
9:46
glass and it's just like it wasn't
9:48
there and
9:49
then we'll find you know animal
9:51
bones and
9:54
Obviously, initially there was bones
9:55
being found...
9:59
And what are other volunteers saying
10:01
about this?
10:02
Yeah, so you heard from Sarah there.
10:05
She's a really involved
10:07
volunteer. She's been there since
10:08
the initial days after the
10:10
disaster.
10:11
During that cleanup too, I also met
10:13
with a lady who actually drove
10:15
in four hours from the Houston area
10:17
just for a Saturday cleanup.
10:19
And she says, for her, it's really
10:21
important because she herself is
10:23
a disaster survivor and she
10:25
knows that recovering.
10:28
From these types of events,
10:30
you just can't do it alone.
10:31
You have to have community, you have
10:33
to volunteers.
10:34
And so that was her big message that
10:35
she wanted to get out to the
10:36
community.
10:37
Yeah, volunteers are definitely
10:38
important and you know, we're almost
10:40
in December and it's about to
10:42
possibly get colder and we just had
10:44
thunderstorms in the area with a
10:45
flood watch.
10:46
Is there any additional urgency
10:48
to get things cleared before the
10:50
weather gets, you know ugly?
10:52
Absolutely.
10:53
Yeah. You know, I mentioned
10:54
obviously folks want to get some
10:57
properties cleaned up before the
10:58
Thanksgiving holiday, but I think
10:59
the more pressing issues, like you
11:01
said, it's been raining.
11:02
It's been stormy.
11:03
The RVs and even
11:05
tents, I don't know if you've ever
11:06
been camping in the rain, they leak,
11:08
right? Like they leak water.
11:10
So, you know, folks are in
11:12
uncomfortable physical, you,
11:15
know, just situations.
11:16
And then to add onto it, you
11:18
know, lots of folks are still
11:19
traumatized. So every time it rains
11:21
or thunderstorms,
11:23
you know, it brings back memories of
11:25
the July floods.
11:26
And so, yeah, there is
11:28
some urgency to try to help these
11:30
folks get a new homes.
11:32
And Kailey, you just came into the
11:33
studio straight from a rally that
11:35
was happening in front of the
11:36
Capitol about disaster relief.
11:38
What was going on there?
11:40
That's right. Yeah, we were.
11:40
Actually across the street from
11:42
the Capitol in front of the
11:44
governor's mansion.
11:46
Yeah, so there were dozens
11:48
of flood survivors from
11:50
Sandy Creek, along with survivors
11:52
from Hurricane Harvey as well,
11:53
just people from all across the
11:55
state. They are coming together and
11:57
asking the governor to
11:59
establish a $500 million
12:02
disaster relief fund for
12:04
just Texans to provide them with
12:06
immediate, you know,
12:08
direct monetary relief.
12:10
For folks who who survive these
12:12
these types of events and they're
12:14
asking him to create that fund using
12:16
money from the rainy day fund, right
12:18
so They say
12:20
transferring over money from The
12:21
Rainy Day Fund for an actual rainy
12:23
day
12:25
Yeah, that's what it's for, right?
12:27
And I know we talked about this
12:28
earlier in our conversation, but
12:30
remind us, what is going on this
12:31
weekend with Austin Disaster Relief
12:33
Network?
12:34
Yeah, so just to put it out there
12:35
again, Austin Disaster Relief
12:37
Network, they are gonna hold a big
12:39
cleanup event in Sandy Creek.
12:41
You can go onto their website
12:43
to learn more just about who's
12:45
eligible to volunteer.
12:48
Most everybody, if you're above the
12:49
age of 16, can volunteer.
12:51
What types of supplies you need,
12:53
closed-toe shoes, gloves.
12:55
And yeah, sign up, figure out what
12:58
you can do out there and help people
12:59
out.
12:59
And what's been your biggest
13:00
takeaway from like being in the
13:02
space with these people like going
13:04
through what they're going through?
13:05
Yeah, you know, it's tough.
13:07
I grew up in Leander,
13:10
just around the, only like five,
13:12
10 minutes away from these folks who
13:13
were affected by the floods in Sandy
13:15
Creek.
13:16
It's emotional every time you go out
13:18
there.
13:19
The biggest thing I just want people
13:21
to know is, is yeah, it has been
13:23
four or five months, you know down
13:25
the road since the disaster first
13:27
struck, but people are still
13:28
struggling. They need help.
13:30
There's a lot of unanswered
13:31
questions, just a lot uncertainty
13:33
about.
13:34
The future for these folks,
13:36
and yeah, we want to make sure that
13:37
we share those stories.
13:38
Thank you so much.
13:39
And we'll have a link with the
13:41
Austin disaster relief network
13:43
information in today's podcast,
13:45
show notes at kut.org slash
13:47
signal. We've been speaking with
13:48
KUT's Williamson County reporter,
13:51
Kailey Hunt. Kailey, thanks so much
13:52
for talking with us today.
13:54
Thanks, Miles.
13:58
Up next, we'll hear from the Austin
14:00
Creative Alliance about how they
14:01
secured their new home, and we'll
14:03
here from Jason Mellard with This
14:04
Week in Texas Music History.
14:08
This is Austin Signal, I'm Miles
14:10
Bloxson and welcome back.
14:11
Finding affordable studio space is
14:13
a constant battle for Austin
14:15
artists. It's a fight that sometimes
14:17
ends with a musician or non-profit
14:20
being pushed out of town, but
14:22
it doesn't always end in a loss.
14:24
From the KUT's art desk,
14:26
Stephanie Federico reports on one of
14:28
those victories.
14:31
John Reedy can already see how it's
14:32
all going to come to life.
14:33
This is going to be a lot of kids
14:35
lessons and rehearsals
14:37
for dance concerts.
14:39
There's a piano in here that's going
14:40
to stay.
14:41
He's walking me around the campus of
14:43
a historic church downtown.
14:45
Reedy is the CEO of Austin Creative
14:47
Alliance, a nonprofit formed
14:49
in 1974 to support the
14:51
city's arts community.
14:53
The group lost its longtime East
14:54
Austin home in May after the
14:56
building was sold and rents went up.
14:58
Nine artists and three nonprofits
15:00
were displaced.
15:01
It's a familiar story, but
15:03
this one's got a better ending.
15:05
Austin Creative alliance was able to
15:06
find a new space in just a few
15:08
months and for less money than
15:10
it had been paying.
15:11
It's renting two floors from Central
15:13
Christian Church.
15:14
In turn, it's subletting studio
15:16
space to artists and cultural
15:18
groups.
15:18
We're going to help them maintain
15:20
this beautiful historic space.
15:22
And they're going help the arts
15:23
community access affordable
15:25
space.
15:26
How did it all come together?
15:28
Austin Creative Alliance was
15:30
connected to Central Christian
15:31
Church through art.
15:33
Pastor Lane Beamer had been an actor
15:34
in California.
15:35
He met Reedy a few years ago through
15:37
a friend of a friend he had done
15:39
plays with in the 90s.
15:40
The two of them hit it off.
15:42
It was a very just coincidental
15:44
serendipitous connection.
15:46
The two floors in the church
15:47
building have been used by a
15:48
performing arts school for about a
15:50
decade.
15:51
After the school closed shop three
15:52
years ago, the church rented it out
15:54
to a real estate firm.
15:56
Then it moved out and the church had
15:57
a blank slate.
15:59
When Austin Creative Alliance was
16:00
looking for a place to relocate, it
16:02
reached out to see if they had space
16:03
available.
16:04
And I said, boy do we,
16:07
come take a look.
16:08
That's Pastor Beamer.
16:09
And so when we walked with John
16:11
and started talking about who might
16:13
want what room, we
16:15
really let go of the notion of
16:17
what's been and
16:19
said, well, what do the
16:21
artists need?
16:22
It was a puzzle figuring out who
16:23
should go where, based on lighting,
16:25
room size, and function, but the
16:27
new tenants all had one need in
16:29
common, affordable studio space.
16:31
Rent varies for each of the 13
16:33
studios in what's now called the
16:35
sanctuary.
16:36
Reedy says it comes to around $3
16:38
per square foot per month,
16:40
all utilities included.
16:42
For comparison, space in the Canopy
16:44
Arts Building in East Austin is
16:45
around $30 a square foot.
16:48
Sharon Anderson is the founding
16:49
executive director of ATX
16:51
Theater. One of the group's
16:52
subletting studio space.
16:54
There are lots of places where you
16:55
can put on a concert or practice
16:58
whatever, but
16:59
there are not a lot of places that
17:01
people who make performances
17:04
can afford to rent.
17:06
ATX Theater moved into a 660
17:08
square foot room on the second floor
17:10
earlier this month.
17:11
It's going to require some
17:12
adjustments of course, like for
17:14
example that is clearly not a sound
17:15
proof door, and we're
17:17
going to have people singing and
17:19
dancing and doing all kinds of
17:20
things in here, so we just
17:22
moved in. She plans to rent the
17:23
space out for rehearsals.
17:25
You can imagine all those cool,
17:27
funky little garage band theaters,
17:29
you know, that
17:31
often rehearse in their backyard
17:32
because they can't afford the
17:33
expensive rehearsal spaces.
17:35
They're gonna be pretty excited to
17:36
get a space for $10 an hour instead
17:38
of 25.
17:39
Makes a big difference.
17:40
Hopefully that extra 15 bucks will
17:42
go to pay actors or get nicer
17:43
costumes or something.
17:46
Beamer is glad the space is going to
17:48
be used.
17:48
It has a spirit and
17:51
I think it's been feeling
17:53
a little neglected.
17:54
And so I really do believe that
17:56
if buildings and
17:59
rooms have
18:01
their own spirit,
18:03
the building is happy.
18:05
He says the church has not always
18:07
been a welcoming place, and he wants
18:09
to quote, do damage control for
18:11
Jesus.
18:12
He hopes Austin Creative Alliance's
18:14
presence will help bring neighbors
18:15
in to see what's going on.
18:18
That evangelism today is
18:20
just letting people know you're a
18:22
Christian and not being a jerk.
18:24
The opportunities to have people
18:25
come in and out of here and
18:28
have a pleasant experience and be
18:30
supported and nurtured.
18:31
The idea of sanctuary.
18:33
Sanctuary not just for the religious
18:35
community that's at the heart, you
18:37
know, of the church,
18:39
but we're really to be a safe space
18:41
for everybody.
18:43
The new tenants started moving in
18:44
this month and all the studios
18:46
should be full by the end of the
18:47
year.

19:15
This week in Texas music history,
19:17
free jazz from Fort Worth hits the
19:19
spot.
19:20
On November 17th, 1959,
19:22
one of the more legendary opening
19:23
nights in jazz history took place.
19:25
Ornette Coleman's quartet debuted at
19:27
the Five Spot in New York City.
19:29
The Fort Worth-born saxophonist was
19:31
joined on stage by Don Cherry,
19:33
Charlie Hayden, and Billy Higgins
19:34
and supported their revolutionary
19:35
Atlantic Records LP, The Shape of
19:37
Jazz, to come.
19:38
Informed by bebop, rhythm and blues,
19:40
and Ornette's homilotic
19:42
philosophies, the quartet was
19:43
greeted by a collection of hipsters,
19:45
aficionados, and even skeptics,
19:47
all curious to see what this new
19:49
turn in free jazz was all about.
19:51
As Coleman described his innovations
19:52
later in the liner notes of his 1960
19:54
release, Change of the Century,
19:56
the members of my group and I are
19:58
now attempting a breakthrough to a
19:59
new, freer conception of jazz,
20:02
one that departs from all that is
20:03
standard and cliché.
20:20
The Five Spot, located at Cooper
20:22
Square, just off the then-run-down
20:24
Bowery, was already a hotspot for
20:25
the newest in jazz when they booked
20:27
pianist Cecil Taylor in 1957.
20:30
But Ornette's arrival was a downtown
20:31
sensation.
20:32
Lines snaked around the block, and
20:34
celebrities of the creative world
20:35
like James Baldwin and Robert
20:36
Rauschenberg found their way to the
20:38
packed venue.
20:39
The original two-week booking
20:40
extended well into 1960.
20:42
Coleman's stand at the Five Spot
20:44
proved to be a pivotal moment in
20:45
jazz and creative improvised music.
20:47
Marking a shift in musical
20:49
consciousness and practice that
20:50
continues to resound in Texas and
20:52
across the globe.
