Other Changes
Add additional annual funding through Measure B at Tier II for the Cambodian American Cultural Center and Latino Cultural Center (providing these Cultural Centers with annual funding at the same level as the African American Cultural Center—as well as the South Coast Chorale LGBT chorus). Direct the City Manager to place a moratorium on any additional programs funded through Measure B for the next three years, at which time a review can be done to measure the effectiveness of Measure B investments.
Direct the City Manager to formalize and expand the City’s program to waive or offset parking citations for people experiencing homelessness in order to help reduce barriers to housing and services.
Direct the City Manager to develop an approach for the retention incentive funds to be distributed in FY
23. The impact on other funds is estimated at approximately $3.8 million (plus $2 million in the General Fund as mentioned above under Uses), bringing the total All Funds impact to $5.8 million. 9/6/2022 10:50 PM 3 of 5
City Council Recommendations for the FY 23 Budget
SOURCES AND USES SUMMARY
Motion to direct the City Manager to include the following items as high priority projects to be considered for funding using any year-end surplus resources from the Long Beach Recovery Act, General Fund, Measure A, and/or any other sources as relevant if available. The City Manager should include the status of funding these projects as part of the FY 22 Year-End Performance Report and in the context of available surplus funds and other priority needs and projects. The following list is not in any priority order and approximate dollar figures and potential funds included for some items but actual funding source and amount presented in the year-end report may vary higher or lower depending on the situation at that time:
Add structural funds in the amount of $2,975,570 in the Insurance Fund Group in Human Resources Department, offset by a reduction of $2,975,570 from the Insurance Fund in the City Attorney’s Office.
This change reflects the transfer of the Workers’ Compensation Claims Division from the City Attorney’s Office to the Human Resources Department under the Risk Management Bureau. A total of 18 positions will be transferred. The merge will allow for opportunities to improve operations, streamline processes, and increase overall services to our City employees. This action has no bottom-line change to the Insurance Fund.
Reduce the adult-use and medical cannabis cultivation and retail taxes for equity businesses, and direct City Manager to come back to City Council with a report on how a potential rebate program would work where any revenues above $12 million would be rebated back to businesses who paid taxes with a prioritization on rebating back to cultivation businesses, along with an updated projection report to City Council on the status of cannabis revenues. This action will promote equity goals while not resulting in revenue loss from the current budget.
Motion to direct the City Manager to develop, finalize, and implement plans for a new Talent Acquisition Division in the Human Resources Department with potentially five to seven Human Resources employees with a projected annual cost ranging from $695,000 to $965,000. Costs in FY 23 can be funded out of the City’s Employee Benefits Fund, which will recoup its cost in future years with increased department charges citywide. Staff should evaluate and finalize the best approach and return to City Council in a Budget Adjustment Letter with request for increased appropriation.
Utilize $250,000 of Long Beach Recovery Act funds, originally allocated to Library Services to waive library fines, to go towards a temporary increase in library hours in FY 23. These funds can add five Monday hours at two branches (Michelle Obama and El Dorado) through overtime with existing staff. This will result in two locations increasing service to six days, with service hours at these locations increasing from 34 to 39 hours. Note that the elimination of fines has already been implemented and incorporated as a policy change within the FY 23 budget and thus this reallocation of Long Beach Recovery Act funds do not impact the waiving of library fines.
Direct the City Manager to report back in 6 months on the Park Rangers Program and implementation of the Park Ambassador Program.
