To: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Councilwoman Mary Zendejas, First Council District Subject: Funds Transfer to Jamie Nichols for the Craftsman Village Historic District National Night Out 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $340, offset by the First Council District One-Time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department, to provide a donation to Jamie Nichols for the Craftsman Village Historic District National Night Out 2022; and
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $340 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION:
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. Since 1984, communities across the United States of America have gathered to enhance the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while building a sense of community. Neighborhoods across the nation host events such as block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts, and many other community events. These events have grown the relationships between members of the community and police for years and continue to be wonderful events for communities across the nation.
On Tuesday, August 2nd , 2022, the Craftsman Village Historic District hosted a National Night Out event at Craftsman Village Park, in which community members met with Long Beach Police Officers to build a stronger relationship. Residents were able to talk to local officers, eat food, and enjoy Craftsman Village Park with their neighbors. This event was made possible by the work of Jamie Nichols who was the official permittee with Long Beach Parks, Recreation, and Marine, and purchased the liability policy for the event on behalf of the Craftsman Village Historic District.
The $340 will go to reimburse Jamie Nichols for her costs. It is appropriate for the City Council to support Jamie Nichols for Craftsman Village Historic District National Night Out 2022.
This matter was reviewed by Budget Manager Grace H. Yoon on August 18, 2022.
STATEMENT OF URGENCY:
This urgent item is being submitted through supplemental agenda to allow for timely funds processing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide a contribution to Jamie Nichols for the Craftsman Village Historic District National Night Out 2022. The total appropriation increase of $340 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 and expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
