Item 53 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
Council is considering an ordinance to waive or reimburse certain fees tied to Earth Day Austin's Earth Day ATX 2026 event, held at Huston-Tillotson University on May 2, 2026. Fee waivers like this lower the cost of putting on community gatherings, so the decision affects what the city forgoes in revenue from such events. The source text doesn't specify the dollar amount involved.
