TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,500, offset by the Seventh Council District One-Time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Goals For Life in the amount of $1,500 to support their Waterfront Celebration on October 9, 2022; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $1,500 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Goals For Life, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation, is an educational youth development program that, in coordination with local school districts, teaches potentially at-risk youth the skills and strategies that are necessary for success in life. Goals For Life has a team of former professional football players who have been carefully trained to deliver a detailed curriculum in public schools. The Waterfront Celebration event will benefit at-risk youth in Long Beach and surrounding areas and provide an opportunity to recognize Goals for Life’s amazing mentors.
This item has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on August 10, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a donation of $1,500 to Goals for Life to support their event as written above. The total appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department in the amount of $1,500 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
