Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to bring items for Council consideration to waive or reimburse fees for the Austin’s New Year event to be held at the end of 2026, and ensuring that fees are waived or reimbursed annually thereafter for Austin’s New Year.

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This resolution asks the City Manager to come back with items that would waive or reimburse fees for the Austin's New Year event at the end of 2026 — and to keep doing so every year after that. If you've ever rung in the new year at the city's downtown celebration, this is about keeping that tradition going by easing the costs tied to putting it on.
