TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $5,000, offset by the Seventh Council District One-Time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide support for the Uptown Jazz Festival on August 27, 2022; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $5,000 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department
DISCUSSION
The City Manager's Office of Special Events and Filming will be organizing the Uptown Jazz Festival on behalf of the Ninth Council District on August 27, 2022, at Houghton Park. The Uptown Jazz Festival is currently in its 11th year and remains a well-attended event that thousands of Long Beach families and community members attend. Residents come to the park and enjoy community, music, community resources, vendors, a kids' area, and more. This event offers a significant opportunity to conduct outreach to the Uptown community around the issues of health and economic recovery.
This item has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on August 11, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide $5,000 in support of the Uptown Jazz Fest. The total appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department in the amount of $5,000 is 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. Implementing this recommendation is anticipated to result in a minimal impact to staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
ROBERTO URANGA COUNCILMEMBER,
SEVENTH DISTRICT
