TITLE
WITHDRAWN
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $15,000, offset by the Sixth Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Love Beyond Limits for youth enrichment and leadership development programming in the Central Area; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $15,000 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
With the current pandemic, youth are struggling in more ways than the normal adult. With schools being closed youth are not physically interacting with others, they are attending school through a virtual platform, and they are living through the stress of their households potentially being income limited.
Love Beyond Limits is a Long Beach based non-profit organization whose mission is to transform children into natural-born leaders ready to take on the world. They offer life skills workshops to youth and families, each year they partner to “adopt families” for the holidays, and since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they have been providing hot meals to families in need.
This contribution to Love Beyond Limits will assist in providing additional programming efforts for youth who may need homework assistance, school supplies, family counseling, mentoring services, and food.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on November 24, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Love Beyond Limits for youth enrichment and leadership development programming in the Central Area. The total appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $15,000 is offset by the Sixth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the Citywide Activities Department. Implementing this recommendation is anticipated to result in a minimal impact on staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
