Subject: Funds Transfer to Long Beach Camerata Singers for Summer Concerts RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $250, offset by the Second Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Camerata Singers to support their summer concerts in the Second District; and, Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $250 to offset a transfer to the Gity Manager Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Long Beach Camerata Singers is a non-profit organization dedicated to excellence in choral music. They enrich the lives of our communities and performers through a broad spectrum of repertoire, innovative programming, and arts education.
On Saturday, June 18, 2022, the Long Beach Camerata Singers hosted a free concert in Carroll Park, as part of their "Front Porch Concert" series. These concerts are free and open to the public. A $250 contribution will fund summer concerts in the Second District.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on June 23, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Camerata Singers for their summer concerts. The total appropriation increase of $250 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease of appropriation of Second 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 There is no local job impact associated with the recommendation.
