To: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Councilwoman Mary Zendejas, First Council District Subject: Funds Transfer to Centro CHA in Support of Back To School RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $ 1,000, offset by the First Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department, to provide a contribution to Centro CHA in support of Back-to-School Community Resource Fair and Vaccination Clinic; 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:
On Thursday, Augu st 25 th, Centro CHA will be hosting a free Back-to-School Community Resource Fair and Vaccination Clinic featuring a community resource fair and vaccination clinic at Cesar Chavez Park from 5pm to 8pm. This family fun event will b ring resources such as COVID-19 vaccinations for everyone, with gift cards available for any parents of early age d children that get vaccinated, games, art, nonprofit resources, and a giveaway of 100 backpacks. It is important that we support this event as the surrounding neighborhood has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the 90802-zip code, school supplies will be provided for free to 100 children, and many resources will be shared to the community by local nonprofits. It is appropriate for the City Council to support a funds transfer to Centro CHA in support of Back-to-School Community Resource Fair and Vaccination Clinic.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Centro CHA in support of Back-to-School Community Resource Fair and Vaccination Clinic . 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 First 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 normal budgeted scope of duties NB-32
and expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
