TITLE
Recommendation to approve the designation of one-time infrastructure funds for City Council District infrastructure projects and existing programs; and
Approve related budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
Since Fiscal Year 2012 (FY 12), the City Council has appropriated one-time funds for infrastructure projects and existing City programs on a “Divide by Nine” basis, allocated equally to each Council District. Administrative procedures for the implementation of Divide by Nine were developed and distributed in a memorandum dated November 9, 2015, to remain in compliance with the City Charter and Long Beach Municipal Code. In accordance with these procedures, City Council approval is requested to designate existing Divide by Nine funds for the specific infrastructure projects and existing programs that are managed by operating departments described on Attachment A. As these one-time funds were originally budgeted in the Public Works budget, budget appropriation adjustments are necessary for any projects or existing programs that will be managed by departments other than Public Works.
Future allocations to functions that are not department-managed capital/infrastructure projects or existing programs may be brought forward by individual Council Districts for City Council authorization.
This matter was reviewed by Principal Deputy City Attorney Gary Anderson on May 26, 2017 and by Budget Operations Administrator Grace Yoon on May 25, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on June 13, 2017, to implement programs and complete projects in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The following budget appropriation adjustments are necessary to implement the specific projects and programs.
Increase appropriations in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW) by $41,634 for the identified projects and programs listed on Attachment A, offset by a transfer of one-time Divide by Nine funding from the Capital Projects Fund (CP) in the Public Works Department (PW).
Increase appropriations in the General Fund (GF) in the City Manager Department (CM) by $40,000 for the identified programs listed on Attachment A, offset by a transfer of one-time Divide by Nine funding from the Capital Projects Fund (CP) in the Public Works Department (PW).
Increase appropriations in the General Fund (GF) in the Development Services Department (DV) by $7,500 for the identified programs listed on Attachment A, offset by a transfer of one-time Divide by Nine funding from the Capital Projects Fund (CP) in the Public Works Department (PW).
Increase appropriations in the General Fund (GF) in the Health and Human Services Department (HE) by $3,000 for the identified program listed on Attachment A, offset by a transfer of one-time Divide by Nine funding from the Capital Projects Fund (CP) in the Public Works Department (PW).
Increase appropriations in the General Fund (GF) in the Library Services Department (LS) by $4,000 for the identified program listed on Attachment A, offset by a transfer of one-time Divide by Nine funding from the Capital Projects Fund (CP) in the Public Works Department (PW).
