TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $657, offset by the Third Council District one-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to the Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewards, Inc. who assisted with a planting project with Lowell Elementary School 5th Graders for a Community Service Day; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $657 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Instilling the importance of giving back to your community is an important lesson for children to learn. With the goal of establishing this sense of service to one's neighborhood and tangible improvements, the Third District Council Office hosted a Community Service Day with Lowell Elementary School students to add plants and help beautify the neighborhood.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager, Grace H. Yoon, on August 22, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager Department to provide a contribution to the Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewards, Inc. to support a community service planting event. The total appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $657 is offset by a decrease of appropriation of Third Council District onetime District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. Implementing this recommendation is anticipated to result in a minimal impact to staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
SUZIE A. PRICE
COUNCILWOMAN, THIRD DISTRICT
