TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $2,500 offset by the Fourth Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Care Closet LBC; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $2,500 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Care Closet LBC is a local non-profit organization that provides assistance to people experiencing homelessness. Care Closet LBC’s efforts expand through the entire city as the organization works to distribute care packages, organize clean ups, and provide resources and assistance for those who need extra support or need to enter into our Continuum of Care system. In our current local homelessness emergency, support for organizations that are working at a grassroots level to assist in decreasing the number of people experiencing homelessness is needed.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on October 9, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Care Closet LBC. The total appropriation increase of $2,500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation from the Fourth 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,
DARYL SUPERNAW COUNCILMEMBER,
FOURTH DISTRICT
