TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,000, offset by $500 of Third Council District One-Time District Priority Funds and $500 of Fourth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to PTA California Congress of Parents of Woodrow Wilson High School for the Wilson High School PSTA Sweatshirt Fund; 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
Several years ago, the Third and Fourth Council District Offices were made aware of a funding gap at Wilson High School that needed to be addressed. While school uniforms were supplied at no cost to students in need, there was no provision for the popular school logo sweatshirts. Our offices have since created a program to fill this void with the Sweatshirt Fund. Students on good merit are now eligible to receive a coupon for a free Wilson High School sweatshirt of their choice.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on July 7, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to PTA California Congress of Parents of Woodrow Wilson High School for the Wilson High School PSTA Sweatshirt Fund. The total appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department in the amount of $1,000 will be offset by a decrease of appropriation in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $500 from the Third Council District One-Time District Priority Funds and $500 from the Fourth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds. Completing this work is anticipated to result in a minimal impact to staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
