TITLE
Recommendation to increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $750, offset by the Ninth Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to Success In Challenges; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $750 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION
Founded in 2001, Success In Challenges is a non-profit grass-roots social service agency largely serving the greater Long Beach Community. Their mission is to provide community youth and adults with safe, interactive programs that promote good citizenship, character development, creativity and discipline, designed to inspire them to face life’s challenges with enthusiasm and dignity. In June, Success In Challenge hosted their 2023 Gala which raised funds to support their programs. This donation to their organization will help them continue to serve the residents of Long Beach with their services.
This item has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on June 15, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a donation to Success In Challenges. The total appropriation increase of $750 in the General Fund in City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Ninth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The requested action is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have a minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
