Decrease appropriations in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $3,586 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
On July 31st, 2021, the Office of Special Events and Filming, with the support of Council District 6, conducted a community event known as Wrigley Village Block Party in the Wrigley Neighborhood. The event took place from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. between 19th Street and Hill Street, with a Block Party along Willard St at Pacific Ave. The goal of this event was to activate the Wrigley Village by bringing Wrigley residents together, meanwhile supporting businesses. Community partners include the Wrigley Association, Wrigley Area Neighborhood Group, Wrigley Clean Team, Long Beach Collective Association, United Cambodian Community and Wrigley Tavern & Garden. The event will include live music, an art walk and a resource fair.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on July 30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommendation provides One-Time District Priority Funds to the City Manager Department to support the Wrigley Village Block Party. The total appropriation increase in the Special Advertising and Promotions Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $3,586 is offset by a decrease of appropriation of the Six 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 normal budgeted scope of duties and a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
