Officially called the GAP Fee, it aims to offset the $10 million the city spends annually on police, sanitation, and other services during the 12-day festival. Proposed by Councilmember Freddie King III at the mayor’s request, the fee is still awaiting Mayor Helena Moreno’s final approval — but if passed, it marks a major financial shift for the beloved traditions that draw millions each year.
