At its 2018 annual meeting in February, the Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association welcomed three new members to its board of directors. The new members, pictured l-r below, are:

• Jeffrey Jungbauer, a realtor who lives at the Catherine;
• Adam Levinson, an entrepreneur and business consultant, who lives at the Four Seasons Residences; and
• Jarrad Toussant, an education executive who lives at the Gables Park Tower.

Additionally, Phil Wiley, a Judge’s Hill resident who has served on the DANA board since 2016, was reelected to a new two-year term.

DANA also saluted and thanked three outgoing board members: Roger Cauvin, who had served on the board since 2014; Susan Hoffman, who had served since 2016; and Kimberley Levinson, who also had served since 2016.

At its June 21, 2017 meeting, the DANA board hosted a presentation from Austin Energy on District Cooling Plant 3 slated for a spot in the Seaholm District.

The cooling plant will expand Austin Energy’s chilled water system that provides air conditioning to residential and commercial buildings downtown. Cooling plants typically generate a certain amount of noise that can affect nearby residents.

Austin Energy representatives described the purpose of the plant, the location and configuration, and noise mitigation measures incorporated into the design.
