FISCAL IMPACT

This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide contributions of $2,500 to Rancho Los Cerritos Foundation, $300 to International City Theatre, $2,000 to Long Beach Branch NAACP, $3,000 to Bixby Knolls Community Foundation, and $2,750 to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation to support their events and programs as written above. The total appropriation increase of $10,550 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Fifth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department.  This recommendation is anticipated to require a minimal level of 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,

STACY MUNGO, COUNCILWOMAN

FIFTH DISTRICT
