TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,500, offset by the Second Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department, to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation for their Grape Expectations event on September 18, 2022; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $1,500, to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
The Long Beach Public Library Foundation provides support to enhance the Long Beach Public Library system and encourages literacy and education for all members of the community. Since 1996, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation has advocated for equal access to literacy, education, technology, and essential community resources through the Long Beach Public Library. The Long Beach Public Library Foundation will be hosting their annual fundraising event, Grape Expectations, at the Hotel Maya on September 18, 2022.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on August 25, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation for their Grape Expectations event. The total appropriation increase of $1,500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation from the Second Council District One-Time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The recommendation is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CINDY ALLEN, COUNCILWOMAN
