Description

Approve an ordinance waiving or reimbursing certain fees related to Velocity Music Academy's Benefit Concert to be held at the Zilker Hillside Theater on September 26, 2026.

Summary

Austin City Council agenda item 26-2414 proposes waiving or reimbursing $566 in Austin Arts, Culture, Music & Entertainment fees for Velocity Music Academy’s benefit concert at Zilker Hillside Theater on September 26, 2026. The amount covers the facility reservation fee. If approved, the City’s General Fund would record $566 in unrealized revenue because the fee would not be collected. The waiver would also reduce remaining fiscal-year fee-waiver allocations for sponsoring and supporting council offices: Laine by $166, and Alter, Ellis, Qadri, and Duchen by $100 each. The ordinance would apply specifically to this event.
