TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $500, offset by the Fifth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Partners of Parks; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $500 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Councilwoman Megan Kerr would like to support Partners of Parks’ annual Sowing the Seeds event held on Saturday, March 25th at the El Dorado Nature Center. This contribution supports an event that furthers the Partners of Parks mission to support City programming benefiting Long Beach teens, seniors, and economically disadvantaged youth and benefits their affiliated partners, including community groups and neighborhood associations.
This matter has been reviewed by Recovery Budget Officer Dee Okam on March 21, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution of $500 to Partners of Parks to support the event as written above. The total appropriation increase of $500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Fifth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. This recommendation is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this item.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
MEGA KERR COUNCILWOMAN,
FIFTH DISTRICT
