TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $3,500, offset by the Eighth Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department, to provide donation to Women in Action Reaching Out to support their upcoming holiday community service programming; and

Decrease appropriation in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $3,500, to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.

DISCUSSION
Women In Action Reaching Out (W.I.A.R.O.) is a non-profit organization that provides community outreach and resource services to Long Beach, California, and surrounding areas. Their mission is to change lives by assisting families and unlocking happy living. They offer a variety of programs and services, including nutrition services, mental health counseling, resource referrals, and vocational activities. W.I.A.R.O. is committed to creating a positive environment where everyone is treated with respect and has the opportunity to grow and develop their skills. Their ultimate goal is to provide a Multipurpose Center providing Nutrition services, Mental Health Counseling, and Resources for the Starving Community.

This matter has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on October 16, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide contributions of $3,500 to Women in Action Reaching Out to support their causes as written above. The appropriation increase of $3,500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of the Eighth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The recommendation is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
