TITLE
Recommendation to increase Fiscal Year 2019 appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $21,930, offset by the First Council District one-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to various organizations; and
Decrease Fiscal Year 2019 appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $21,930 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Throughout Fiscal Year 2019, the First Council District provided contributions to various organizations to support specific events or gatherings that served a benefit to the general Long Beach community. Attachment A provides a list of these organizations and their events, as well as the donation amount. These donations were funded from the First Council District's District Priority Funds or "Divide by Nine" funds that have been allocated to Council Districts by City Council to be spent on eligible one-time uses.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager, Grace H. Yoon, on October 11, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager Department to provide contributions to support various groups and their events as listed in Attachment A. The total Fiscal Year 2019 appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $21,930 is offset by a decrease of Fiscal Year 2019 appropriation of First Council District one-time 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
