TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $400, offset by the Fourth Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to the Long Beach Suffrage 100; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $400 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offers an unparalleled opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. The Long Beach Suffrage 100 worked to ensure that the anniversary was commemorated and celebrated in our community. Additional funding is needed for their final event on August 26th, the Farewell Suffrage Tea.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Suffrage 100. The total appropriation increase of $400 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department is offset by the Fourth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the Citywide Activities Department. Implementing this recommendation is expected to have a minimal impact to staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
DARYL SUPERNAW
COUNCILMAN, FOURTH DISTRICT
