In plain language — from agenda source text
Council is weighing whether to approve a settlement in a lawsuit filed against the City of Austin (operating as Austin Energy) by Gustavo Armijo, a case that's been working its way through Travis County's 250th District Court. The dollars to cover the settlement would come from Austin Energy's 2025-2026 budget. Settling lets the city close out the legal dispute rather than keep fighting it in court.
Current official agenda wording
Approve a settlement in Gustavo Armijo v. City of Austin d/b/a Austin Energy, Cause No. D-1-GN-20-000459 in the 250th District Court, Travis County, Texas. Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Austin Energy Budget.
