TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,000, offset by the Seventh Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to Partners of Parks to support the 2023 Long Beach Juneteenth Celebration; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group by $1,000 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Councilmember Uranga would like to support the 2023 Long Beach Juneteenth Celebration. Juneteenth is an important holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in America. This annual event celebrates black culture and freedom and promotes an atmosphere of inclusion, equity, and belonging. It is important that we support the joy of the Juneteenth celebration while raising awareness of the important history of Juneteenth.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero June 14, 2023.
STATEMENT OF URGENCY:
This item requires urgency to allow a timely transfer of funds.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS

FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide funds to Partners of Parks to support the 2023 Long Beach Juneteenth Celebration as written above. The total appropriation increase of $1,000 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Seventh Council District One-Time District Priority funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. This recommendation is anticipated to have minimal impact on staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and a minimal impact on existing Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
