Contribution to Support the 2022 Long Beach Pride Parade RECOMMENDATION:
R-23
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $2,500, offset by the Third Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride (LBLGP) Inc. to support the 2022 Long Beash Pride Parade and Festival, and;
Decrease appropriation in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $2,500, to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Long Beach hosts one of the region's largest Pride celebrations including our annual parade and festival. These events highlight the city's acceptance, love, and diversity that has become a hallmark of Long Beach while also bringing guests from all across the country here to celebrate. With these clear benefits to the City, as well as our LGBTQ community, the City should support this event.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on June 24, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommendation requests the City Manager to provide support to Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride (LBLGP) Inc. for the 2022 Long Beach Pride Parade and Festival.
The total appropriation increase of $2,500 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Third 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 minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
