Item 68 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This ordinance waives or reimburses city fees tied to Chicano Park Day, held at Festival Beach Metro Park on August 30, 2026. Council routinely grants these fee waivers for community events, covering costs like permits and park use that organizers would otherwise pay out of pocket. For a longtime East Austin cultural celebration, that difference can determine whether the day pencils out for the folks putting it on.
