Subject: Fund Transfer to Partners of Parks to Support AOC7 Neighborhood Gaviota Avenue Block Party
______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $327, offset by the Sixth Council District One-Time District Priority Funds transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a donation to Partners of Parks to support the AOC7 Neighborhood Organization Gaviota Avenue Block Party; and, Decrease appropriations of the Sixth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $327 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
Discussion
Partners of Parks is supporting the AOC7 Neighborhood Gaviota Ave Block Party on July 23, 2022. The summer block party will bring resources, games, and free food to the neighborhood.
Partners of Parks is the Long Beach non-profit that helps subsidize park programming and activities and supports neighborhood groups who fund and host events in Long Beach parks.
The organization supports the Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine Department by working with donors to fund new tree plantings, new amenities, and new programming benefitting teens, seniors and families-in-need. AOC7 is a neighborhood organization founded to improve the overall quality of life within their community. AOC7 stands for Anaheim, Orange, Cherry & 7th St. These four streets represent the borders of their community (2nd & 6th District).
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on July 12, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Partners of Parks to support the AOC7 Neighborhood Organization Gaviota Ave Block Party. The total appropriation increase of $327 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will NB-30
be offset by a decrease of appropriation of the Sixth Council District One-time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The recommendation 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.
