TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $2,913, offset by the Third Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to the Community Action Team for their annual community events; and
Decrease appropriations in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $2,913 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Annually, the Community Action Team (CAT) hosts a number of community events. These events serve to activate public parks and beaches in positive ways that bring residents together for fun family focused events. Historically, these events have included; the Haute Dogs Howl’oween Parade, the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 5K, the Bulldog Beauty Contest, and Bike Parade. These events foster a sense of neighborliness and positivity in our City while creating stronger connections and friendship among Long Beach residents and calling attention to the City’s attractions and resources.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on October 13, 2022.
STATEMENT OF URGENCY:
Funds are sought prior to the dates of these events being held.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a donation to the Community Action Team for their annual community events. The total appropriation increase of $2,913 in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Third Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The requested action is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
