FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) in support of their annual Long Beach Latina Empowerment Day. The total appropriation increase of $500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease in appropriation of the Fourth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The requested action is anticipated to have a minimal impact on staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
