TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $250, 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 Camerata Singers to support their summer concerts in the Second District; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $250 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
The Long Beach Camerata Singers is a non-profit organization dedicated to excellence in choral music. They enrich the lives of our communities and performers through a broad spectrum of repertoire, innovative programming, and arts education.
On Saturday, June 18, 2022, the Long Beach Camerata Singers hosted a free concert in Carroll Park, as part of their "Front Porch Concert" series. These concerts are free and open to the public. A $250 contribution will fund summer concerts in the Second District.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on June 23, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Camerata Singers for their summer concerts. The total appropriation increase of $250 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Second Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The requested action is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities There is no local job impact associated with the recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CINDY ALLEN COUNCILWOMAN,
SECOND DISTRICT
