TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $800, offset by $400 in Second Council District One-time District Priority Funds and $400 in First Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Partners of Parks to support the Craftsman Village Historic District’s dog waste bag program that helps to keep the neighborhood clean; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $800 to offset the transfers to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Craftsman Village Historic District had previously applied for, and won, a grant to install lockable dog waste bag dispensers throughout the neighborhood, and that grant had included bags.

The Association will manage the deployment of the bags in such a way as to maximize the longevity of the investment, ideally up to 3 years.
It is appropriate to assist the Craftsman Village Historic District by funding part of their dog waste bag program. This public private partnership will help the residents of, and visitors to, the Craftsman Village Historic District keep their streets, parkways, and sidewalks clean for years to come.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manger Grace H. Yoon on December 15, 2021.
