Next week, City Council’s Public Safety Committee will meet to address the possibility of a new license plate reader contract, among other things. Though the meeting is likely to attract public speakers, the system used to register speakers will be down for maintenance this weekend, prior to the Monday meeting. In an effort to make up for this, registration at kiosks in City Hall will remain open through 5 p.m. today (April 21). Speakers can also register by emailing juan.arispe2@austintexas.gov with their name, phone number, email address, the item number they will be speaking on, and whether they will be speaking in person or remotely. The full agenda for the meeting, which will be held on Monday, April 24, at 2 p.m., can be found here. The committee will convene again May 22 for a special called meeting to discuss the city’s partnership with the Department of Public Safety.
