Retrospective Review

As part of ongoing efforts to improve City operations and efficiencies, City Council approved Resolution 20180201-063 directing the City Manager to create a pilot retrospective review program for a regular, systemic review to assess existing policies, reports, rules and regulations related to the Economic Opportunity and Affordability strategic outcome.

City policies, reports, rules, and regulations will be reviewed to determine; if there is a continuing need for it; if there are possible conflicts; if it has been affected by technology/economic or other industry changes; does it serve the original purpose; and is it fair and equitable?

As the City reviews rules and regulations, we want to hear from YOU! What are your ideas for rules and regulations that should be reviewed? Click here to submit your idea! https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/cv37-nj7a/
