LONG BEACH CITY COUNCIL
NB-23
Subject: Fund Transfer: Contribution to Support the 2022 Long Beach Pride Parade RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $1,000, offset by the Fifth Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to the Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride (LBLGP) Inc. to support the 2022 Long Beach Pride Parade and Festival; 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:
The City of Long Beach hosts one of the region's largest Pride celebrations, including our annual parade and festival. This parade and festival attract new visitors to Long Beach and boosts our local economy while celebrating the incredible diversity for which Long Beach is known. This parade and festival are an excellent opportunity to showcase our city and the LGBTQ+ business community.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution of $1,000 to Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride (LBLGP) Inc. to support their events as written above. The total appropriation increase of $1,000 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.
URGENCY STATEMENT
As the 2022 Long Beach Pride Parade and Festival is scheduled for the weekend of July 8-10, urgency is requested for this item.

Uptown Jazz Festival
RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $50,000, offset by $40,000 in Ninth Council District One-time District Priority Funds, $5,000 in First Council District One-time District Priority Funds, and $5,000 in Second Council District One-time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to support the Uptown Jazz Festival.
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $50,000 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
Discussion
The City Manager's Office of Special Events and Filming will be organizing the Uptown Jazz Festival on behalf of the Ninth Council District on August 27, 2022, at Houghton Park. The Uptown Jazz Festival is currently in its 11th year and remains a well-attended event that thousands of Long Beach families and community members attend. Residents come to the park and enjoy community, music, community resources, vendors, a kids' area, and more.
This event offers a significant opportunity to conduct outreach to the Uptown community around the issues of health and economic recovery. The District 9 Council Office is in the process of seeking private donations to offset the costs associated by the festival.
The Ninth Council District will engage in fund raising efforts to support this event. If funds are raised, an equal amount, up to $40,000, of District Priority funds allocated to this event through this recommendation will be returned to the Ninth Council District One-time District Priority funds.
