At its Oct. 6 meeting the Austin Public Safety Commission completed a series of procedural items and votes.

Minutes: The commission unanimously approved the Sept. 8 meeting minutes by voice vote after a motion and second (motion moved and second recorded on the transcript). Commissioners recorded unanimous approval; no roll‑call tally was given.

2026 meeting schedule: The commission amended the proposed 2026 meeting calendar to move the September meeting from Sept. 14 to Sept. 8 (the change was proposed because Labor Day falls on Sept. 7). A motion to amend passed by voice vote and was recorded as approved.

Downtown commission representative: Commissioner Bernhardt volunteered and the commission voted to appoint Commissioner Bernhardt as the Public Safety Commission representative to the Downtown Commission. The motion passed; one commissioner (Commissioner Winn) recorded an abstention.

Bylaws working group: The commission agreed to replace Commissioner Bernhardt with Chair Ramirez on the bylaws working group to support pending council‑level changes; the motion to swap members carried by voice vote.

Ending: The commission closed with reminders about National Night Out and other community events; chairs and staff noted follow‑ups and that several agenda items will return once staff and partner agencies complete analyses called for by the commission.
