TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,000, offset by First Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to Willmore City Heritage Association to support the 2021 Willmore Slam Season of Live Arts and Music - Virtual Edition; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $1,000 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
The past year has tested our creativity and ways to find new avenues to come together. The Willmore City Heritage Association (WCHA) has been an active neighborhood association within the First District for years and has helped keep residents connected throughout the pandemic.

This matter has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on May 5, 2021.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS

FISCAL IMPACT

Implementing this recommendation is expected to have a minimal impact on staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
