Culture Map Austin reports that the Austin City Council issued a directive to the city manager to compose a "social contract" for Austin.
During its Thursday, December 10 meeting, The council asked City Manager Spencer Cronk to work with the city’s Joint Inclusion Committee to write the document, which is slated to be presented to the council by June 1, 2021.
"A global pandemic and racial unrest have led this nation and communities across the country to an inflection point; and ... despite the polarization playing out on the national stage, the Austin community strives to rise above," reads the resolution.
The non-binding resolution will be the first of its kind in the nation, say it's backers.
