TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2018 designation of one-time infrastructure funds for City Council District infrastructure projects and existing programs; and
Approve related budget appropriation adjustments for Fiscal Year 2018 in accordance with existing City Council policy. (Citywide)

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 City Council Priorities (also known as 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 Council District Priorities funds for the specific infrastructure projects and existing programs managed by operating departments, as described in Attachment A.

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 Linda T. Vu on October 2, 2018 and by Interim Budget Bureau Manager Grace Yoon on September 26, 2018.
