What this means

The committee signed off on several park-related agreements that allow program expansion, maintenance partnerships, and a new concession operator at Olvera Street. It also approved a contract for on-call workplace investigations and training for the Parks Department. The committee approved a City Attorney ordinance that will raise admission fees at the Hollyhock House and Watts Towers and change cultural venue rental fees, meaning those charges will increase once the ordinance is implemented.
